Welcome, everyone! Here’s the program for the 8th Global Investigative Journalism Conference, (#GIJC13), scheduled for October 12-15, 2013, in beautiful Rio de Janeiro. It’s the first time we’re holding the GIJC in the global south, and we’re combining it with two other key events in journalism: the annual Latin America Investigative Journalism Conference (COLPIN), and the International Congress of ABRAJI, Brazil’s investigative journalism association. Panels and workshops will be available in languages as marked: English (Eng), Portuguese (Port), Spanish (Span). Plenary and showcase panels will be translated into all three. There will be streaming video available for all plenary and showcase panels and all those held in the RDC auditorium (C1). We look forward to seeing you in Rio!

The mining of diamonds, gold, minerals and oil has long been characterized by secrecy and corruption in much of the world. Learn how to use sources and data, some made available only outside the countries where mines are located, to discern the secret players and relationships behind this vast and lucrative sector. Maren Sæbø, who is writing a book about the connections between Norwegian firms and oil-producing countries in Africa, will give tips on using SEC filings and on reporting in Angola, Nigeria, Mozambique and elsewhere. Khadija Sharife will show you how to connect the dots on corporate relationships using public documents, and pry what information is available out of secrecy jurisdictions. Eric Mwamba will talk about the limits of data, and the critical importance of reporting on the ground in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Diana Jean Schemo of 100Reporters will moderate, and discuss tools for reporting, and getting out the story, across borders.
